Jackson, Baughman and WHITE.

The Democratic State Convention could
scarcely have presented ticket more accep.
table to the voters of the State than the one
nominated on Wednesday.
Hon. Elihu E. jackson, our candidate fol-
Governor, is 80 years of age and man OF
whom Maryland may well be proud. He be-
gan life as farmer boy, and by his industry
integrity and admirable business qualities be-
came successful lumber merchant and one OF
the most honored and trusted citizens of Wi.
comico county. He has always been an earn
est, active Democrat, and was elected to the
House of Delegates in 1882 and became State
Senator in 1891 Upon the resignation OF
Gov. McLane and the transfer of Mr. Lloyd to
the Governorship Mr. Jackson became Pres
ident OF the Senate. He is an excellent rep
resentative Of the business and industrial in
terests of the State and his fine executive
ability, familiarity with the affairs of the State
and above all his heightened purity of char
acter In private life will enable him to give
the people OF Maryland clean honest, bust
ness-like administration. He has warm
place In the affections of the people of his
county, who are gratified that his name will
head the Democratic ticket. He is devoted
and useful member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and is noted for his many charities
to the needy and suffering. l..
COL l.. Victor Baughman, of Frederick
county, our nominee for Comptroller, is edi-
tor of the Frederick Citizen aud President of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company
Col. Baughman was sent South, early in the
war, and entered the Confederate army, and
served with credit throughout the struggle.
He was the gallant leader, last fall, of the
Democratic voters of the 9th Congressional
district, and succeeded in reducing Mr. Nc.
Comas's majority of 1884 by over 1 200 votes.
he is an accomplished and eloquent speaker
and we hope to hear his ringing voice in Har.
ford during the campaign.
The nomination of ex-Gov. VIM. Pinkney
Whyte for Attorney General is one of the
best that could have been made. He is one
of the most brilliant and distinguished men
in the State. He filled the office of Cover
nor with marked ability and dignity, and as
United States Senator from Maryland he
stood in the front rank as statesman of
national reputation. The Democrats of the
whole country owe Gov. Whyte especial
gratitude for the firm stand he took in on
position to the Electoral Commission con-
spiracy, by which the people of the United
States were deprived of the President they
had chosen in 1875.
Altogether, the ticket is Democratic
throughout, and 1t commends itself to every
law-aolding, considerable voter ofthe State.
